Litecoin block explorer
Look up Litecoin addresses, transactions, and blocks - routed live to Litecoin Space.
Litecoin is a Bitcoin-derived UTXO chain, so its address and transaction formats follow the same families as Bitcoin with their own prefixes. Modern bech32 SegWit addresses start with ltc1, legacy P2PKH addresses start with the letter L, and P2SH addresses start with M or the legacy 3-prefix in some encodings. Transaction IDs are 64-character lowercase hex strings, identical in shape to Bitcoin txids. Paste any Litecoin value at tx.taxi/{value} and the router classifies the address family or the txid and 302-redirects you to the matching page on Litecoin Space, which mirrors the mempool.space UI for the LTC network.

Frequently asked questions
Why do Litecoin addresses start with ltc1 or L?
Litecoin reuses Bitcoin's address encodings with different version bytes. The 'ltc1' prefix marks bech32 SegWit addresses, while 'L' is the version byte for legacy base58 P2PKH addresses. M-prefixed and 3-prefixed addresses indicate P2SH outputs.
Is a Litecoin transaction hash the same shape as a Bitcoin one?
Yes. Both are 64 lowercase hex characters with no prefix. The hash alone does not say which network it belongs to, which is why tx.taxi routes by configured chain context.
Does Litecoin Space support Litecoin's MWEB extension blocks?
Litecoin Space mirrors the mempool.space UI for LTC and surfaces standard on-chain transactions, blocks, and mempool data. Mimblewimble (MWEB) extension-block contents are private by design and are not enumerable like ordinary outputs.
What block time does Litecoin use?
Litecoin targets shorter block intervals than Bitcoin, which is why confirmations show up faster in the Litecoin Space mempool view. Block heights climb at roughly four times Bitcoin's pace.
